>>* Versatility: DVD capability in the PS2 was a fairly big deal at the time. Blu-ray in the PS3 was not, but it did look good in a bullet-point comparison against the 360. While this statement is generally true, I'm sure the Blu-Ray was not an insignificant thing for some people. Shortly after the PS3 was released, I got my first 1080p TV, and I wanted 1080p content like Planet Earth. The PS3 seemed to be the best value for a Blu-Ray player at the time, so I bought a PS3 as my HD content player. I ended up buying a bunch of games, but at the time I bought the PS3, the console games were gravy to me.
